Concomitant Ipsilateral Knee Pain Is Associated With Worse Preoperative Functional Status and Short-Term Outcomes After Hip Arthroscopy in Patients With Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome. Arthroscopy 2024; 40:1490-1499. [PMID: 37890544 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2023.10.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE (1) To determine the effect of concomitant ipsilateral knee pain (IKP) on short-term outcomes after hip arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and (2) to determine whether IKP would improve with surgery. METHODS Data between September 2021 and May 2022 were reviewed. Patients with a diagnosis of FAIS who underwent hip arthroscopy with a minimum of 1-year follow-up were included. The exclusion criteria were prior ipsilateral hip or knee surgery, hip Tönnis grade greater than 1, knee Kellgren-Lawrence grade greater than 2, hip conditions (avascular necrosis, Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, pigmented villonodular synovitis, osteoid osteoma, synovial chondromatosis, and developmental dysplasia of the hip), and spine diseases. All patients underwent knee magnetic resonance imaging preoperatively. Preoperative and short-term (1-year) patient-reported outcomes were collected, consisting of the Hip Sports Activity Scale score, weekly sports participation, modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), 12-component International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12) score, and visual analog pain scale (VAS) scores for the hip and the ipsilateral knee. The percentages of patients achieving the minimal clinically important difference and patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) for the mHHS and iHOT-12 score were calculated. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to determine the effect of IKP severity on postoperative outcomes. Subgroup analysis was performed between patients with IKP alleviation and those without IKP alleviation. RESULTS Among the 107 patients included, 47 presented with preoperative IKP. Compared with patients without IKP, the IKP cohort had comparable knee structural abnormalities (all with P > .05). Still, the IKP cohort showed inferior preoperative values for the mHHS (P = .003), iHOT-12 score (P = .016), hip VAS score (P = .001), and weekly sports participation (P = .039). Postoperatively, the IKP cohort had a lower mHHS (P = .046), lower iHOT-12 score (P = .037), and lower hip VAS score (P = .003) and were less likely to achieve the PASS for the mHHS (P = .021) and iHOT-12 score (P = .049). Patients with higher knee VAS scores were less likely to achieve the PASS for the mHHS (odds ratio, 0.61; P = .023). Within the IKP group, the knee VAS score improved from 2.3 to 1.0 (P < .001). Patients with alleviated IKP showed superior postoperative iHOT-12 scores (P = .038) compared with patients with persistent IKP. CONCLUSIONS Concomitant IKP at baseline negatively affected preoperative status and short-term clinical outcomes after arthroscopic treatment of FAIS. Patients with IKP were less likely to meet clinical thresholds. Most patients achieved IKP alleviation postoperatively, which was associated with superior clinical outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective cohort study.

Steingrebe H, Spancken S, Sell S, Stein T. Effects of hip osteoarthritis on lower body joint kinematics during locomotion tasks: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Front Sports Act Living 2023; 5:1197883. [PMID: 38046934 PMCID: PMC10690786 DOI: 10.3389/fspor.2023.1197883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Motion analysis can be used to gain information needed for disease diagnosis as well as for the design and evaluation of intervention strategies in patients with hip osteoarthritis (HOA). Thereby, joint kinematics might be of great interest due to their discriminative capacity and accessibility, especially with regard to the growing usage of wearable sensors for motion analysis. So far, no comprehensive literature review on lower limb joint kinematics of patients with HOA exists. Thus, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to synthesise existing literature on lower body joint kinematics of persons with HOA compared to those of healthy controls during locomotion tasks. Methods Three databases were searched for studies on pelvis, hip, knee and ankle kinematics in subjects with HOA compared to healthy controls during locomotion tasks. Standardised mean differences were calculated and pooled using a random-effects model. Where possible, subgroup analyses were conducted. Risk of bias was assessed with the Downs and Black checklist. Results and Discussion A total of 47 reports from 35 individual studies were included in this review. Most studies analysed walking and only a few studies analysed stair walking or turning while walking. Most group differences were found in ipsi- and contralateral three-dimensional hip and sagittal knee angles with reduced ranges of motion in HOA subjects. Differences between subjects with mild to moderate and severe HOA were found, with larger effects in severe HOA subjects. Additionally, stair walking and turning while walking might be promising extensions in clinical gait analysis due to their elevated requirements for joint mobility. Large between-study heterogeneity was observed, and future studies have to clarify the effects of OA severity, laterality, age, gender, study design and movement execution on lower limb joint kinematics. Systematic Review Registration PROSPERO (CRD42021238237).

J Clin Med 2023; 12:6662. [PMID: 37892800 PMCID: PMC10607773 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12206662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) affects the biomechanics of the hip and the patient gait. The stem design influences femoral lever ratios and tissue trauma. Biomechanical changes such as these have the potential to induce knee arthritis. A varus or valgus configuration of knee arthritis is formed by asymmetric loadings. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of stem design in THA on knee valgus by comparing a standard implant with an implant with a short stem. METHODS A total of 2953 patients who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty for end-stage osteoarthritis between 2015 and 2021 were included in this retrospective data analysis. Patients were divided into three groups, depending on hip status (straight stem, short stem, and native joint). Leg alignment was distinguished as varus or valgus, and the degree of axial deviation was measured. Descriptive and explorative statistical analyses were performed, with a p value < 0.05 set as significant. RESULTS Ipsilateral knee valgus occurred significantly more often in patients with straight stems (57.2%) than in those with short stems (29%) and native joints (25.8%) (p < 0.001). Additionally, mean valgus deviation was significantly increased in patients with straight stems (8.9°) compared to those with short stems (6.4°) or native hip joints (6.7°). Both findings were accentuated in women. CONCLUSIONS Previous ipsilateral straight-stem THA is associated with knee valgus deformity, especially in women. Short-stem THA seems to be better suited to restoring physiological biomechanics and preventing the development of valgus osteoarthritis of the ipsilateral knee.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis of the hip is a common condition that affects older adults. Total hip replacement is the end-stage treatment to relief pain and improve joint function. Little is known about the mechanical load distribution during the activity of bipedal stance, which is an important daily activity for older adults who need to rest more frequently. This study investigated the distribution of the hip and knee joint moments during bipedal stance in patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis and how the distribution changed 1 year after total hip replacement. Kinematic and kinetic data from bipedal stance were recorded. External hip and knee adduction moments were calculated and load distribution over both limbs was calculated using the symmetry angle. Preoperatively, the non-affected limb carried 10% more body weight than the affected limb when standing on two legs. Moreover, the mean external hip and knee adduction moments of the non-affected limb were increased compared to the affected limb. At follow-up no significant differences were observed between the patients' limbs. Preoperative and postoperative changes in hip adduction moment were mainly explained by the combination of the vertical ground reaction force and the hip adduction angle. Stance width also explained changes in the hip and knee adduction moments of the affected leg. Furthermore, as with walking, bipedal standing also showed an asymmetric mechanical load distribution in patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis. Overall, the findings suggest the need for preventive therapy concepts that focus not only on walking but also on optimizing stance towards a balanced load distribution of both legs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients after total hip arthroplasty (THA) have altered hip kinematics compared to healthy controls, specifically hip extension and range of motion are lower. Exploring pelvis-thigh coordination patterns and coordination variability may help to elucidate why differences in hip kinematics are evident in patients following THA. RESEARCH QUESTION Do sagittal plane hip, pelvis and thigh kinematics, and pelvis-thigh movement coordination and coordination variability differ between patients following THA and healthy controls during walking? METHODS Sagittal plane hip, pelvis and thigh kinematics were collected using a three-dimensional motion capture system while 10 patients who had undergone THA and 10 controls walked at a self-selected pace. A modified vector coding technique was used to quantify pelvis-thigh coordination and coordination variability patterns. Peak hip, pelvis and thigh kinematics and ranges of motion, and movement coordination and coordination variability patterns were quantified and compared between groups. RESULTS Patients after THA have significantly (p ≤ .036; g ≥ 0.995) smaller peak hip extension and range of motion, and peak thigh anterior tilt and range of motion compared to controls. Additionally, patients following THA have significantly (p ≤ .037; g ≥ 0.646) more in-phase distally and less anti-phase distally dominated pelvis-thigh movement coordination patterns compared to controls. SIGNIFICANCE The smaller peak hip extension and range of motion displayed by patients following THA is due to smaller peak anterior tilt of the thigh, which in turn limits thigh range of motion. The lower sagittal plane thigh, and in turn hip, motion used by patients after THA may be due to increases in the in-phase coordination of pelvis-thigh motion patterns, which cause the pelvis and thigh to work as a singular functional unit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biomechanical markers including reductions in sagittal plane kinematics and moments, increases in knee adduction moments (KAM), and altered muscle activations have been identified as hallmark indicators of knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, it remains unknown whether these features of knee OA gait are exclusive to the diseased joint. RESEARCH QUESTION To determine whether specific gait outcomes previously linked to symptomatic medial compartment knee OA are unique to knee OA by concurrently investigating a group of asymptomatic individuals and those with hip OA. METHODS 16 individuals with moderate medial compartment knee OA, 16 individuals with moderate hip OA, and 16 asymptomatic controls were recruited. Participants walked on a treadmill while segment kinematics and ground reaction forces were recorded. Sagittal plane kinematics and sagittal and frontal plane moments were calculated. Surface electromyograms were recorded from lateral and medial hamstrings and gastrocnemius and vastus lateralis and medialis. Discrete variable analysis was used to investigate knee joint mechanics and muscle activation ratios. Analysis of Variance models using Bonferroni corrections determined between group differences (α = 0.0167). RESULTS Sagittal plane knee kinematics and moments were statistically similar among all groups (p > 0.0167). No differences were found for peak KAM and impulse between knee OA and asymptomatic groups (p > 0.0167) but peak KAM (p = 0.006 and impulse (p = 0.001) were greater in the knee OA group compared to hip OA. The hip OA group had a lower KAM impulse (p < 0.0167) compared to the knee OA and asymptomatic groups. A greater LH:MH activation ratio (p < 0.0167) was found in the knee OA group compared to hip OA and asymptomatic groups. No other activation ratio differences were found (p > 0.0167). SIGNIFICANCE Medial and lateral hamstring muscle activation levels may provide utility as a knee OA gait biomarker compared to biomechanical outcomes, quadriceps and gastrocnemius activation, when differentiating knee OA from asymptomatic and hip OA cohorts.

Abstract
Patients with hip osteoarthritis have greater hip loading on the healthy side than on the affected side. A cane can reduce the ground reaction force and hip joint load on the affected side. A cane reduces the hip abduction moment to a greater degree than the ground reaction force. A cane may increase the hip joint load on the nonaffected side.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To construct a comprehensive simulation method of "gait-musculoskeletal system (MS)-finite element (FE)" for analysis of hip joint dynamics characteristics and the changes in the contact stress in the hip throughout a gait cycle. METHODS Two healthy volunteers (male and female) were recruited. The 3D gait trajectories during normal walking and the CT images including the hip and femur of the volunteers were obtained. CT imaging data in the DICOM format were extracted for subjected 3D hip joint reconstruction. The reconstructed 3D model files were used to realize the subject-specific registration of the pelvis and thigh segment of general musculoskeletal model. The captured marker trajectory data were used to drive subject-specific musculoskeletal model to complete inverse dynamic analysis. Results of inverse dynamic analysis were exported and applied as boundary and load settings of the hip joint finite element in ABAQUS. Finally, the finite element analysis (FEA) was performed to analyze contact stress of hip joint during a gait cycle of left foot. RESULTS In the inverse dynamic analysis, the dynamic changes of the main hip-femoral muscle force with respect to each phase of a single gait cycle were plotted. The hip joint reaction force reached a maximum value of 2.9%BW (body weight) and appeared at the end of the terminal stance phase. Twin peaks appeared at the initial contact phase and the end of the terminal stance phase, respectively. FEA showed the temporal changes in contact stress in the acetabulum. In the visual stress cloud chart, the acetabular contact stress was mainly distributed in the dome of the acetabulum and in the anterolateral area at the top of the femoral head during a single gait cycle. The acetabular contact area was between 293.8 and 998.4 mm2, and the maximum contact area appear at the mid-stance phase or the loading response phase of gait. The maximum contact stress of the acetabulum reached 6.91 MPa for the model 1 and 6.92 MPa for the model 2 at the terminal stance phase. CONCLUSIONS The "Gait-MS-FE" technology is integrated to construct a comprehensive simulation framework. Based on human gait trajectories and their CT images, individualized simulation modeling can be achieved. Subject-specific gait in combination with an inverse dynamic analysis of the MS provides pre-processing parameters for FE simulation for more accurate biomechanical analysis of hip joint.

Abstract
Patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis show a characteristic gait pattern in which they unload the affected leg and overload the unaffected leg. Information on the gait characteristics of patients with bilateral hip osteoarthritis is very limited. The main purposes of this study were to investigate whether the gait pattern of both legs of patients with bilateral hip osteoarthritis deviates from healthy controls and whether bilateral hip osteoarthritis patients show a more symmetrical joint load compared to unilateral hip osteoarthritis patients. In this prospective study, 26 patients with bilateral hip osteoarthritis, 26 patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis and 26 healthy controls were included. The three groups were matched for gender, age and walking speed. Patients were scheduled for a unilateral total hip arthroplasty on the more affected/more painful side. All participants underwent a three-dimensional gait analysis. Gait kinematics and gait kinetics of patients and controls were compared using Statistical Parametric Mapping. Corrected for speed, the gait kinematics and kinetics of both legs of patients with bilateral hip osteoarthritis differed from healthy controls. Bilateral patients had symmetrical knee joint loading, in contrast to the asymmetrical knee joint loading in unilateral hip osteoarthritis patients. The ipsilateral leg of the bilateral patients could be included in studies in addition to unilateral hip osteoarthritis patients as no differences were found. Although patients with bilateral hip osteoarthritis show more symmetrical frontal plane knee joint moments, a pathological external knee adduction moment in the second half of stance was present in the ipsilateral leg in patients with unilateral and bilateral hip osteoarthritis. The lateral adjustment of the knee adduction moment may initiate or accelerate progression of degenerative changes in the lateral compartment of the knee.

[PMID: 34303070 DOI: 10.1016/j.gaitpost.2021.07.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2021] [Revised: 06/17/2021] [Accepted: 07/17/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) exhibit an increased step width (SW) during walking before and up to 2 years after total hip arthroplasty. Wider SW is associated with a reduction in the external knee adduction moment (KAM), but there is a lack of research regarding the effect of SW on the hip adduction moment (HAM). RESEARCH QUESTION Is a wider SW an effective compensatory mechanism to reduce the hip joint loading? We hypothesized that (1) an increased SW reduces, (2) a decreased SW increases the KAM/HAM, and (3) secondary kinematic gait changes have an effect on the KAM/HAM. METHODS Twenty healthy individuals (24.0 ± 2.5 years of age) underwent instrumented gait analyses with 4 different subject-specific SW modifications (habitual, halved, double, and triple SW). The resulting external KAMs and HAMs were compared using statistical parametric mapping (SPM). RESULTS Post hoc testing demonstrated significantly lower HAM for both the double (p < 0.001, 15-31 % and 61-98 % of the stance phase) and the triple SW (p < 0.001, 1-36 % and 58-98 %) compared to the habitual SW. The extent of the reduction at the first and second peak was comparable for HAM (15-25 % reduction) and less pronounced at the first peak of KAM (9-11 % reduction) compared to the second peak of KAM (19-28 % reduction). In contrast, halving the SW did not lead to a significant change in KAM or HAM compared to the habitual SW (p > 0.009). SIGNIFICANCE An increase in SW is an effective and simple gait mechanism to reduce the frontal plane knee and hip joint moments. However, hypothesis 2 could not be confirmed, as halving the SW did not cause a significant change in KAM or HAM. Given the results of the present study, gait retraining with regard to an increased SW may be an adequate, noninvasive option for the treatment of patients with hip OA.

Abstract
Background The aim of the present study was to compare the outcomes of patients who underwent different sequences of ipsilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods We retrospectively identified 47 patients who underwent TKA followed by ipsilateral THA (THA-TKA) and 36 patients who received THA subsequent to ipsilateral TKA (TKA-THA) for rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis between January 2008 and April 2014. Twenty-eight patients were selected for each group after case-control matching with preoperative demographics and protheses of THA. Clinical scores, radiographic results, complication rates, and survivorship were compared. The median duration of follow-up was 110 (range 80–149) months. Results Both groups showed significant improvement in Harris Hip Scores, Knee Society Score, and Short Form-12 at the last follow-up compared to baseline (p < .001). At the last follow-up, all clinical scores were actually lower in the THA-TKA group, but those differences were not statistically significant. Otherwise, there was no significant difference in radiological alignment or complication rates. The survivorship of THA and TKA in the THA-TKA group was 94.7 and 95.7%, respectively, compared with 92.4 and 100.0% in the TKA-THA group at 8 years (log rank, p = .939 and .187). Conclusions Patients who underwent ipsilateral THA and TKA with different sequences achieved similar favorable outcomes. Total joint arthroplasty can be performed safely with excellent outcomes in patients with a history of prior ipsilateral THA or TKA. Trial registration The trial was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2000035147) dated 2 August 2020.

Identification of Patients with Similar Gait Compensating Strategies Due to Unilateral Hip Osteoarthritis and the Effect of Total Hip Replacement: A Secondary Analysis. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10102167.

Abstract
Despite good clinical functional outcome, deficits in gait biomechanics exist 2 years after total hip replacement surgery. The aims of this research were (1) to group patients showing similar gait adaptations to hip osteoarthritis and (2) to investigate the effect of the surgical treatment on gait kinematics and external joint moments. In a secondary analysis, gait data of 51 patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis were analyzed. A k-means cluster analysis was performed on scores derived via a principal component analysis of the gait kinematics. Preoperative and postoperative datasets were statistically tested between clusters and 46 healthy controls. The first three principal components incorporated hip flexion/extension, pelvic tilt, foot progression angle and thorax tilt. Two clusters were discriminated best by the peak hip extension during terminal stance. Both clusters deviated from healthy controls in spatio-temporal, kinematic and kinetic parameters. The cluster with less hip extension deviated significantly more. The clusters improved postoperatively but differences to healthy controls were still present one year after surgery. A poor preoperative gait pattern in patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis is associated with worse gait kinematics after total hip replacement. Further research should focus on the identification of patients who can benefit from an adapted or individualized rehabilitation program.

[PMID: 33879123 PMCID: PMC8058981 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-021-04226-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2020] [Accepted: 04/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The effect of change in hip anatomy on change in gait pattern is not well described in current literature. Therefore, our primary aim was to describe and quantify changes in hip geometry and gait pattern 1 year after total hip arthroplasty (THA) in individuals with hip osteoarthritis. Our secondary aim was to explore the effect of postoperative change in femoral neck anteversion (FNA) and femoral offset and acetabular offset (FO/AO) quota on postoperative change in hip rotation and hip adduction moment during gait, respectively, 1 year after THA”. Methods Sixty-five individuals with primary hip osteoarthritis, scheduled for THA, were analyzed in this prospective intervention study. Participants were evaluated pre- and 1 year postoperatively with computed tomography-scans, three-dimensional gait analysis, and patient-reported outcome measures. Multiple linear regressions were performed to evaluate the association between change in joint anatomy and change in gait pattern after THA. Results One year postoperatively, global offset was symmetrical between sides as a result of decreased acetabular offset and increased femoral offset on the operated side. Quality of overall gait pattern improved, and participants walked faster and with less trunk lean over the affected side. FNA and hip rotations during walking changed equally in external and internal directions after THA and change in hip rotation during walking was associated with change in FNA in the same direction. An increase in external hip adduction moments was, on the other hand, not associated with change in FO/AO quota but with a more upright walking position and increased walking speed. Conclusions The findings of this study suggest that geometrical restoration during THA impacts postoperative gait pattern and, in addition to known factors such as FO, height of hip rotation center, and leg length discrepancy, the FNA must also be taken into consideration.

Abstract
The assessment of knee or hip joint loading by external joint moments is mainly used to draw conclusions on clinical decision making. However, the correlation between internal and external loads has not been systematically analyzed. This systematic review aims, therefore, to clarify the relationship between external and internal joint loading measures during gait. A systematic database search was performed to identify appropriate studies for inclusion. In total, 4,554 articles were identified, while 17 articles were finally included in data extraction. External joint loading parameters were calculated using the inverse dynamics approach and internal joint loading parameters by musculoskeletal modeling or instrumented prosthesis. It was found that the medial and total knee joint contact forces as well as hip joint contact forces in the first half of stance can be well predicted using external joint moments in the frontal plane, which is further improved by including the sagittal joint moment. Worse correlations were found for the peak in the second half of stance as well as for internal lateral knee joint contact forces. The estimation of external joint moments is useful for a general statement about the peak in the first half of stance or for the maximal loading. Nevertheless, when investigating diseases as valgus malalignment, the estimation of lateral knee joint contact forces is necessary for clinical decision making because external joint moments could not predict the lateral knee joint loading sufficient enough. Dependent on the clinical question, either estimating the external joint moments by inverse dynamics or internal joint contact forces by musculoskeletal modeling should be used.

Abstract
Reduced external knee adduction moments in the second half of stance after total hip replacement have been reported in hip osteoarthritis patients. This reduction is thought to shift the load from the medial to the lateral knee compartment and as such increase the risk for knee osteoarthritis. The knee adduction moment is a surrogate for the load distribution between the medial and lateral compartments of the knee and not a valid measure for the tibiofemoral contact forces which are the result of externally applied forces and muscle forces. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the distribution of the tibiofemoral contact forces over the knee compartments in unilateral hip osteoarthritis patients 1 year after receiving a primary total hip replacement differs from healthy controls. Musculoskeletal modeling on gait was performed in OpenSim using the detailed knee model of Lerner et al. (2015) for 19 patients as well as for 15 healthy controls of similar age. Knee adduction moments were calculated by the inverse dynamics analysis, medial and lateral tibiofemoral contact forces with the joint reaction force analysis. Moments and contact forces of patients and controls were compared using Statistical Parametric Mapping two-sample t-tests. Knee adduction moments and medial tibiofemoral contact forces of both the ipsi- and contralateral leg were not significantly different compared to healthy controls. The contralateral leg showed 14% higher medial tibiofemoral contact forces compared to the ipsilateral (operated) leg during the second half of stance. During the first half of stance, the lateral tibiofemoral contact force of the contralateral leg was 39% lower and the ratio 32% lower compared to healthy controls. In contrast, during the second half of stance the forces were significantly higher (39 and 26%, respectively) compared to healthy controls. The higher ratio indicates a changed distribution whereas the increased lateral tibiofemoral contact forces indicate a higher lateral knee joint loading in the contralateral leg in OA patients after total hip replacement (THR). Musculoskeletal modeling using a detailed knee model can be useful to detect differences in the load distribution between the medial and lateral knee compartment which cannot be verified with the knee adduction moment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the influence of a prior well-functioning unilateral primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) on the functional outcome of a subsequent ipsilateral primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS A retrospective case-control study of 92 patients older than 60 years underwent unilateral primary TKA after a prior ipsilateral THA (THA-TKA group) and 92 matched patients underwent only TKA (TKA group). Clinical assessments were performed using the Knee Society Scores (KSS) and Harris Hip Score (HSS), quality of life by the Reduced Western Ontario and MacMaster Universities (WOMAC) and Short-Form 12 (SF-12) questionnaires. Radiological evaluation was also performed. RESULTS Median follow-up after TKA was 7.2 (range 5-9) years. There were no significant differences between groups in baseline data at the TKA time. The mean gains in KSS were similar in both groups. At the last follow-up, there were no significant differences in WOMAC-pain or SF12-physical scores, but the WOMAC-function (p = 0.003) and SF12-mental (p = 0.018) scores were significantly better in the isolated TKA group. At the last follow-up, there were no significant differences in the radiological knee alignment or component positions. For aseptic reasons, the TKA survival at 8 years in the TKA group was 95.8 (95% CI 87.8-100%), and 96.6% (95% CI 91.8-100%) in the THA-TKA group (ns). CONCLUSION A well-functioning unilateral THA does not influence on the functional outcome of a subsequent ipsilateral TKA. This finding can help clinicians when counseling patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a common cause of pain and disability. OBJECTIVE To identify the clinical findings that are most strongly associated with hip OA. DATA SOURCES Systematic search of MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, and CINAHL from inception until November 2019. STUDY SELECTION Included studies (1) quantified the accuracy of clinical findings (history, physical examination, or simple tests) and (2) used plain radiographs as the reference standard for diagnosing hip OA. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Studies were assigned levels of evidence using the Rational Clinical Examination scale and assessed for risk of bias using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool. Data were extracted using individual hips as the unit of analysis and only pooled when findings were reported in 3 or more studies. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios (LRs). RESULTS Six studies were included, with data from 1110 patients and 1324 hips, of which 509 (38%) showed radiographic evidence of OA. Among patients presenting to primary care physicians with hip or groin pain, the affected hip showed radiographic evidence of OA in 34% of cases. A family history of OA, personal history of knee OA, or pain on climbing stairs or walking up slopes all had LRs of 2.1 (sensitivity range, 33%-68%; specificity range, 68%-84%; broadest LR range: 95% CI, 1.1-3.8). To identify patients most likely to have OA, the most useful findings were squat causing posterior pain (sensitivity, 24%; specificity, 96%; LR, 6.1 [95% CI, 1.3-29]), groin pain on passive abduction or adduction (sensitivity, 33%; specificity, 94%; LR, 5.7 [95% CI, 1.6-20]), abductor weakness (sensitivity, 44%; specificity, 90%; LR, 4.5 [95% CI, 2.4-8.4]), and decreased passive hip adduction (sensitivity, 80%; specificity, 81%; LR, 4.2 [95% CI, 3.0-6.0]) or internal rotation (sensitivity, 66%; specificity, 79%; LR, 3.2 [95% CI, 1.7-6.0]) as measured by a goniometer or compared with the contralateral leg. The presence of normal passive hip adduction was most useful for suggesting the absence of OA (negative LR, 0.25 [95% CI, 0.11-0.54]). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Simple tests of hip motion and observing for pain during that motion were helpful in distinguishing patients most likely to have OA on plain radiography from those who will not. A combination of findings efficiently detects those most likely to have severe hip OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Following total hip replacement (THR), hip geometry reconstruction parameters such as the femoral offset (FO) correlate with hip stability and wear. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between hip geometry parameters and knee and hip joint loading during walking. METHODS Forty-one patients were examined before and a minimum of 1 year after primary THR. Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was performed to identify relationships between radiographic parameters and gait data. In addition, we divided patients into 2 groups according to the restoration of the FO (within ±5 mm vs more than 5 mm increment). RESULTS The FO and global offset (GO) showed a positive correlation with the first (r = 0.469, P = .002; r = 0.542, P < .001) and second (r = 0.365, P = .019; r = 0.484, P = .001) knee adduction moment (KAM). The neck-shaft angle revealed a negative correlation with the first hip adduction moment (r = -0.375, P = .047). The reconstruction of FO with an increment of more than 5 mm was associated with a significant higher first KAM (+16%, P = .045) compared to the restored group. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that abnormal hip and knee joint loading during walking after THR have a biomechanical background originating from hip geometry reconstruction. Patients with a high FO/GO were more likely to have an increased KAM during walking or vice versa. Surgeons need to be aware that an accurate control of FO, GO, and neck-shaft angle restoration in THR has an impact on hip and knee joint loading that may influence degenerative changes of the knee and higher wear of the artificial hip joint, respectively.

Are changes in radiological leg alignment and femoral parameters after total hip replacement responsible for joint loading during gait? BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2019; 20:526. [PMID: 31707985 PMCID: PMC6844039 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-019-2832-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2019] [Accepted: 09/13/2019] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Gait kinematics after total hip replacement only partly explain the differences in the joint moments in the frontal plane between hip osteoarthritis patients after hip replacement and healthy controls. The goal of this study was to determine if total hip replacement surgery affects radiological leg alignment (Hip-Knee-Shaft-Angle, femoral offset, Neck-Shaft-Angle and varus/valgus alignment) and which of these parameters can explain the joint moments, additionally to the gait kinematics. Methods 22 unilateral hip osteoarthritis patients who were scheduled for total hip replacement were included in the study. Preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively all patients had biplanar radiographic examinations and 3D gait analysis. Results The operated leg showed significantly (P < 0.05) more varus (1.1°) as well as a larger femoral offset (+ 8 mm) and a larger Hip-Knee-Shaft-Angle (+ 1.3°) after total hip replacement; however no significant differences in the joint moments in the frontal plane compared to healthy controls were found. The hip moment (first half of stance) and the knee moments (first and second half of stance) were mostly determined by the varus/valgus alignment (29% and respectively 36% and 35%). The combination with a kinematic parameter (knee range of motion, foot progression angle) increased the predictive value for the knee moments. Conclusion In our patient group the joint moments after total hip replacement did not differ from healthy controls, whereas radiological leg alignment parameters changed significantly after the total hip replacement. A combination of these radiological leg parameters, especially the varus alignment, and the deviating kinematics explain the joint moments in the frontal plane during gait after total hip replacement surgery. For surgeons it is important not to create too much of a structural varus alignment by implanting the new hip joint as varus alignment can increase the knee adduction moment and the risk for osteoarthritis of the medial knee compartment. Trial registration This study was retrospectively registered with DRKS (German Clinical Trials Register) under the number DRKS00015053. Registered 1st of August 2018.
